INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND

Miyahuna was established in 2007 as a limited liability company owned solely by the Water

Authority of Jordan (WAJ). Miyahuna operates the water transmission networks in Amman and

other cities around the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan such as in Zarqa and Madaba

governorates.

Miyahuna’s responsibilities in Amman, Zarqa and Madaba include but are not limited to

metering, billing, management of assets including primary, secondary and tertiary networks as

well as water facilities such as reservoirs, water wells, pump stations … etc.

Miyahuna’s customer metering is conducted using a variety of methodologies and technologies.

Currently, Miyahuna uses multijet meters for domestic and commercial consumers. Meter

readings are collected manually. Collected meter readings are entered into Miyahuna’s X7

database which uses or supplies this data to other systems for billing and analysis, like its

Customer Information System (CIS) and Geographic Information System (GIS). The issuing of

system generated water bills to customers is conducted manually by Miyahuna staff, and these

staff also collect payment from domestic users.

Miyahuna is looking to procure 112 Static meters for Zarqa’s water large consumers at which will

be connected to AMI in future. Also Miyahuna added 7 electromagnetic meters to be supplied to

Miyahuna warehouse as per the BOQ. Moreover, The contractor will be responsible for installing

the 111 static meters as per manufacturer technical specification.

All supplied meters; shall have all required accessories and data cables.

Moreover, the Bidder must be responsible for the installation of the water meters according to

the manufacturer requirements and specifications; the Bidder may need to modify the

installation of the existing meters and it is the Bidder responsibility for all related works and

installation of any additional fittings, air release valves...etc if needed without any additional cost,

all these fittings must be according to Miyahuna specifications and submittals to be provided to

Miyahuna for approvals.

Before the implementation the Bidder must conduct a study, design and analysis phase, to revise

the existing situation and supply conditions to come up with the optimum/ best installation

conditions as well as meter sizing , in order to fit the site conditions and overcome any problems

raised because of the intermittent supply. Miyahuna will provide the list of meter's locations after

the tender award.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES

The process of collecting meter readings manually is time consuming and costly. In addition to

the high costs, these legacy technologies and methodologies delay Miyahuna in collecting the

2

frequent and accurate information it needs to achieve its objectives in reducing Non-Revenue

Water (NRW) and improving customer satisfaction.

To supply and install smart meters that supports AMI technology, Miyahuna has a series of

related objectiveswhich are specific to AMIsystem activation in future for large water consumers:

• Reduce Cost – Reduce the effort required to read, transmit, store and archive meter readings and report on water consumption figures.

• Improve Frequency of Meter Readings – Get very frequent data to enhance the quality of management and billing information.

• Data Accuracy – Reduce human error associated with manual meter readings and the transmission, storage, archiving, and reporting of water consumption data.

• Increase Billing Accuracy and Reduce Complaints – Increase the ability to bill customers correctly due to improved quality of consumption data and therefore reduce the number of customer billing complaints due to incorrect meter readings and overcharging.

• Improved Management Information – Increase the capacity to generate information for proactive and reactive management to improve NRW reduction and predict water demand.

• Being Able to detect any change in the meter consumption behaviour because of a defected meter so Miyahuna can take the necessary action immediately, also to report the cases of Over and Under sized meters.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

The bidders will be responsible for delivering the Water Meters – Procurement and installation in accordance with meter manufacturer’s specifications and AMI system requirements, and any required civil and electromechanical works.

In addition, the bidders are responsible for procuring electromagnetic flow meters to be supplied

to Miyahuna Amman Warehouse.

GENERAL TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

All certificates (approval certificates, manufacturer experience

certificate,…etc) must be submitted for the same place/factory where the

meters to be manufactured, for all sizes required and for all flow ranges.

SCOPE OF APPLICATION

The water meter will be used for measuring and billing of residential and non-residential consumption of water subscribers. The supply of the water meters shall include all the necessary accessories for installation and operation. The water meters will be used for the measurement of cold water.

1.1.1 Water Supply Regime

Zarqa governorate is divided into 40 District Metered Area (called DMAs) fed by gravity from (5) main reservoirs located at the highest point of each zone, in areas where the difference in elevation is not enough to create the pressure needed for supply, elevated (tower) reservoirs are used. Those DMAs are further divided into sub zones , two sub districts on average for each DMAs. Water distribution has a special importance in Zarqa due to the scarcity of available water sources which doesn’t make it possible to provide continuous water service for the city, thus, making us obligated to apply a strict program of water distribution to supply each zone with only 36-48 uninterrupted hours per week, because of this rationing provision of water, all households are designed with a storage roof tanks to store water during the day of supply and use it through the week, those storage tanks are of 3m3 capacity in average placed on roofs of the houses or buildings up to 25m high. Tanks are equipped with a float valve to prevent overflow.

1.1.2 Network Condition

• Oscillating pressure conditions, pressure of the network during water supply varies from 2 to 8 bars; pressure in some places might drop to less than 0.5 bars. • Due to intermittent supply water can contain pressurized air bubbles especially at the beginning of the supply duration. • Full pipe conditions at the meter inlet may not be guaranteed at all times. • House connection pipes are of small diameters therefore increased flow speed; which causes particle transportation through the water meter and therefore increased deterioration.

6

1.1.3 Meter Installation Condition

• Theoretically as per our installation instruction meters must be

installed in galvanized metal boxes, however in reality those

conditions might not be met by the meter owner, some meters might

be installed without a box or the box might be broken and the meter

exposed.

• Meters are installed outside of the building within the premises of the

building.

• Multiple meters serving multiple customers could be fitted on the

same riser in parallel form.

• Water meters are usually not insulated against lower temperatures,

frost conditions occasionally occur during the winter months

• For bulk meter it’s mainly installed inside chamber or cabinet

• Installation as per manufacturer recommendations and approval of

Purchaser
